KAISER ON THE STUMP HE DENOUNCES SOCIALISTS IN. AD DRESS TO "WORKMEN, Tells Them That They, Are Being "Worked" and Advises Them, to Send Workmen to Parliament. BRESLAU, Prussia, Dec (. Emperor William, addressing' a deputation of work ing men today, mado a- bitter antl-Soclal-lst speech, declaring It was a lie to say that workmen had to rely on the Socialist party for a betterment of their position. The Socialists, he added, had terrorized and trod the working men under foot and as men of honor they must have no more to do with them. The presence of the workmen. Emperor William maintained, showed that they had not disappointed him In the expecta tion ha expressed at Essen,, and had helped to keep . free from reproach the memory of his friend, the late Herr Krupp. The working classes were always the object of deep Interest and solicitude to the Emperor. Therefore, he was Justi fied la addressing a word of warning to ,the workmen. For years they had let themselves be led by agitators and Socialists, under the delusion that they must belong to that party, 1 they wished to better their posi tion. That was a great He, and a serious mistake. These agitators had tried to stir up the worklrigmen- against their employ ers, against other classes and against the throne and .altar, and. at the same time thoy had most unscrupulously ex ploited, terrorized and" enslaved them, in order to strengthen their" own power, not for the promotion of the welfare of the worklngmen, but in order to sow hatred between the classes and disseminate cow ardly slanders, from which nothing, not even the grandest quality, the honor of German manhood, remained Immune. With such people the- working class, as honor-loving men, should have nothing more .to do. . Emperor William co'ncluded by asking the deputation to send a comrade from their midst, a simple, unpretending man from the workshop, into the national parliament. Such a man would be, gladly welcomed as a working representative of the German working class. The repre sentative of other classes, would willing ly work together- with such representa tives, however many they might be. SALARIES ARE SUSPENDED.

The popular Idea that the only euro for chronic catarrh Is a change of climate ia a mistake, because catarrh Is found In all climates In all sections of- the country; and even if a change of climate should benefit for a time the catarrh will cer tainly return. Catarrh may be readily cured In any cli mate, but the only way to do It Is to de stroy or remove from the system the ca tarrhal germs which cause all the mis chief. The treatment by Inhalers, sprays, powders and washes has been proven al most useless In making a permanent cure, as they do not reach the seat of disease, which Is In the blood, and can be reached "'"j a" juremai imucuy wnicn acta 'through the stomach upon the blood and system generally. A new discovery which is meeting with remarkable success In curing catarrh of the head, throat and bronchial tubes and also catarrh of the' stomach, is sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Ca tarrh Tableta These tablets, which are pleasant and hannlesa to take owe their efficiency to the active medicinal principles of Blood Rtot, Red Gum and a new specific called Gtuatacol. which together with valuable antiseptics are combined In convenient, palatable tablet form, and as valuable for children as for adults. Mr. A. R. Fernbank. of Columbus, O.. pays: I suffered so many winters from Catarrh that I took, It as a matter of course, and that nothing would cure It except a change of climate, which my business affairs would not permit me to take. My nostrils were almost always clogged up; I had to breathe through the mouth, causing an Inflamed, Irritated throat. The thought of eating breakfast often nause ated mb, and the catarrh gradually get ting into my stomach took away my ap petite and digestion. My druggist advised me to try a 50 cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, be cause he. said ho had so many customers who had been cured of Catarrh by the use of these tablets that he felt he could honestly recommend them. I took his advice and used several boxes with re sults that surprised and delighted me. I alway keep a box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets In the house, and the whole fam ily use them freely on the first appear ance of a cough or cold In the head. With our children we think there la nothing so safe and reliable as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets to ward off croup and colds and with older people I have known of cases where the hearing had been se riously Impaired by chronic catarrh cured entirely by this now remedy.

A few applications gave won derful relief, and a short continuation of the trcatm-nt cured me. There have been symptoms of' a recurrence since, but a few applications of the remedy never fails to bring positive relief.
